Evolving Partnership / Women & Men

6-week Telecourse for Love Mastery Graduates

In Love Mastery, we engaged the idea of “evolutionary partnerships” and perhaps you’re eager to explore more about what that means in your life. We’ve created this six-week course to help deepen that learning, as well as integrate other lessons from the past year. We’ve drawn on principles and tools from the gender and conflict resolution workshops we’ve been teaching together for over 20 years, a body of work that is very aligned with and complements that of Love Mastery

For this course we will focus on what we are calling the Three Primary Partnerships:

Partnership with Self

Partnership with Others / Your Beloved

Partnership with Life

We’ll spend two weeks on each level of partnership, and each class will include 1 hour of presentation with small group interaction and discussion, followed by an additional hour for Q&A, conversation, and coaching. We will speak about our shared experience in applying and practicing these ideas in our own relationship and we’ll offer our individual perspectives—Jane as a woman and Dirk as a man—along with insights we gained from the women and men in our workshops over the years.

Here’s an overview of what each teaching module will offer:
